K-pop group Stray Kids earned their third platinum streaming certification in Japan after their 2023 hit «S-Class» reached 100mn streams in the country.

The group’s earlier hits, «MANIAC» from «ODDINARY» and «CASE 143» from «MAXIDENT», also received platinum awards for crossing the same mark.

The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) awarded «S-Class» platinum status based on streaming figures recorded by September 2026, according to JYP Entertainment.

The news comes just before Stray Kids return to Tokyo Dome for three concerts from 6 to 8 November as part of their «RUN IT» world tour.

Fans outside Japan can also join the excitement. The group’s 7 November concert will be broadcast live in cinemas worldwide, with Trafalgar Releasing organising the screenings.

Stray Kids Continue Their Success Beyond Japan

The group performed in several Japanese cities during the tour, including Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. In August, Stray Kids also became the first overseas male act to hold a solo concert at Tokyo’s National Stadium.

JYP Entertainment expects the group’s Japanese concerts, including the upcoming Tokyo Dome dates, to attract around 520,000 fans.

Meanwhile, Stray Kids continued to perform well on the US charts. Their August mini album «THIS & THAT» debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking their ninth consecutive release to reach the top of the chart.
